The Tongan archipelago has been inhabited for perhaps 3000 years, since settlement in late Lapita times. The culture of its inhabitants has surely changed greatly over this long time period. Before the arrival of European explorers in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the Tongans were in frequent contact with their nearest Oceanic neighbors, Fiji and Samoa. In the 19th century, with the arrival of Western traders and missionaries, Tongan culture changed dramatically. Some old beliefs and habits were thrown away and others adopted. Some accommodations made in the 19th century and early 20th century are now being challenged by changing Western civilization. Hence Tongan culture is far from a unified or monolithic affair, and Tongans themselves may differ strongly as to what it is "Tong

  • La cultura de Tonga se ha desarrollado a partir de su inmersión en los archipiélagos del Pacífico y el frecuente intercambio de nativos que en él se dio. El archipiélago de Tonga ha estado habitado desde hace unos 3000 años, por lo menos desde que se produjeron los asentamientos en la época de los Lapita. Seguramente la cultura de sus habitantes ha cambiado en gran medida durante este extenso período de tiempo. Antes de la llegada de los exploradores europeos a finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del Siglo XVIII, los tongos estaban en contacto frecuente con sus vecinos de Oceanía, Fiyi y Samoa. (es)
